Hillcrest encompasses a traditional layout, with open plan front gardens and enclosed rears, providing a feeling of space and privacy. There are three house designs which provide a street scene that is unregimented and interesting.
Corby offers a unique environment where you don’t have to compromise – country living with all the things you’d expect of a modern town. A new multi-million pound shopping complex and major investment in local schools and hospitals is shaping a modern town that also enjoys a rich history. The surrounding Northamptonshire countryside is full of variety, with rolling hills, lakes, rivers, canals and a patchwork of interspersing fields. You can ramble along one of the long-distance footpaths or wander through local villages.
East Carlton Country Park offers a variety of walks through mature woods and grassland, with a heritage centre, playground and craft workshops. Corby’s Boating Lake with a wide range of fish offers boats for hire, a cafe and the opportunity to relax or stroll amongst the wildlife. Elizabethan mansion, Kirby Hall is an impressive attraction, as is Rockingham Castle, which was built by William the Conqueror. Nearby Rockingham Motor Speedway adds to an impressive list of leisure activities available.
Corby is well placed for the M1 and the A14 linking the town to Leicester, Northampton, Peterborough and Cambridge.
